ISLAMABAD – The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday turned down the request of Milli Muslim League (MML), a political face of Hafiz Saeed-led Jamaatud Dawa, to register as a political party.The MML has been struggling for the registration since 2017 when the election body had asked the party’s lawyer to obtain a security clearance certificate from the Ministry of Interior, which had opposed its registration.The decision comes at a time when 2018 general elections are set to be held on July 25 as President Mamnoon Hussain had approved a summary sent by the ECP.

Smell a rat here ! FATF is planning to add Pakiland on this Black List . So, maybe, the so-called ECP asked NOT to give its "seal of approval". Time will tell !

Earlier this year, the United States added the Milli Muslim League (MML) and Tehreek-e-Azadi-e-Kashmir (TAJK) to its list of terrorist organisations, citing that both were the fronts of the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).

Massa is keeping Pakiland under 24/7 surveillance !

“The aliases [MML and TAJK] have been added to LeT’s designations as an FTO under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, and as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) under Executive Order 13224,” said the US State Department.

On August 8, the Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) entered politics by forming a new party, the Milli Muslim League. Its members on inauguration said that the party will follow the ideology of the JuD.Saifullah Khalid, a religious scholar and longtime official of the group, is president of the newly-formed Milli Muslim League party. He had told reporters in Islamabad that his party will work to make Pakistan “a real Islamic and welfare state” ( Saudi style or Iran Style ) and that it is ready to cooperate with like-minded parties.

Last year, the ECP had also rejected the party’s plea for registration on the ground that its supremo, Hafiz Saeed, is a globally listed terrorist whereas organisations, JuD and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF), were also designated as banned groups through a presidential ordinance.

So, in order to avoid Pakistan being declared a "pariah state", Hafiz Suar being offered as a sacrificial goat to USA ? Unbelievable

Ganja, along with the hair heir apparent i.e Maryam Sharif - is planning to leave for Bartania to see the ailing Begum Kulsoom and spend Eid there .IMO, this ( putting him on ECL list ) is part of Deep State's grand plan to wage a psychological war against Ganja, and break him down so he becomes a "political wreck" and does not create future problems for the fauj, at least IMO

SLAMABAD – Dubai’s national airline Emirates is going to launch Pakistan’s first ever Airbus-A380 flights from July 10, 2018.The first flight EK2524 will be departed from Dubai International Airport and will land at new Islamabad International Airport ( Has the flood waters been cleared ? Is the Airport Lounge dry ? ) on July 10.

The airline is updating its current fleet and replacing all other planes with the massive A-380.

Emirates officials told Daily Pakistan that the airline will be the first one in Pakistan to introduce this service and EK615 is scheduled to operate on A380 only.

Good news for the Paki R.A.P.E.S . Bad news for P.I.A

It is the world’s largest passenger airliner, and the airports at which it operates have upgraded facilities to accommodate it.

Can Emirates do the needful and reciprocate the "earlier friendship" shown to it by PIA.

Of course she had to "drop" out. If Dimwit Khan had beaten her, the word in the corridors of power would be - khan beats a hundred year old khatoon. If he were to lose against her, the word around the block would be - khansama got eaten by a hundred year old khatoon.

KARACHI – Former skipper Shahid Afridi has given his viewpoint for one of his photos that stumped the internet and drew flak at him for having kept a lion in chains.

In a brief Facebook status, the 38-year-old explained that the house where the photo was captured belonged to him, however, hastened to add that the lion was brought from somewhere else. Smell a "taqiya" here

The athlete explained that the lion was chained for just to be on the same side as it was brought to his house by the owner who had tamed the wild animal.

Expect "people" to "buy this story"

‘The person who owns them has a license as well,’ claimed the Karachi Kings player.

Two wrongs do not make one right . As a "famous author" once remarked,- In Pakiland , in order to "live",one should either have a "name" or have tons and tons of money . A "name" or "money" can get you a so-called illegal "licence" to keep a lion as a pet in your house . Case closed.

Afridi continued he respects that animals need free space and wildlife for survival and added that the space where animals usually live is in an entirely free environment.

The clarification came days after Afridi faced the ire of social media for having kept a chained lion at his home and a deer, who was being hand-fed by the cricketer

A tweet shared by the cricketer boomeranged, however, the clarification seems to make sense.

IMO, this "guy" seems to be a 200% uber Islamist, keeping his other half under ( Islami ) wraps. Yet he has no hesitation is resorting to modern ( and probably UnIslamic ) social media to convey his message . Afridi, thy name is hypocrisy !

SC gives Musharraf time until tomorrow, wonders why the 'commando' is 'so afraid'

Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, who is heading a three-judge bench hearing Musharraf's appeal against his 2013 disqualification by the Peshawar High Court, warned that if the former president does not show up in court by 2pm tomorrow, a decision will be taken in absentia on his eligibility to contest elections.

The court had made clear that the fate of Musharraf's nomination papers would be subject to the final decision in the present case.

"The Supreme Court is not bound to Musharraf's terms"

"If he doesn't return, the scrutiny of his nomination papers will not be permitted," Justice Nisar warned.

"If Pervez Musharraf is a commando, he should show us by returning instead of continuously parroting like a politician that he will return," the CJP said.

"Why does Musharraf need protection, what is he so afraid of?"

"How can a commando be so afraid? Musharraf has said that he evaded death many times but was never afraid," he remarked. "He didn't feel afraid when he was taking over this country," the top judge added.

Following in the footsteps of the United States and North Korea, Pakistan and India should resume comprehensive peace talks, PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif suggests.

“If the United States and North Korea can return from the brink of a nuclear flashpoint, there is no reason why Pakistan and India cannot do the same, beginning with a dialogue on Kashmir whose heroic people have resisted and rejected Indian occupation.”

Asking India to leave behind the past acrimony and move forward...

the long-festering Kashmir dispute is resolved in accordance with the UN resolutions

*ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on Wednesday gave the deadline to former president General (retd) Prevez Musharraf to return to Pakistan and appear before the court by tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon.*A three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar, was hearing the appeal of the former military ruler against his 2013 disqualification verdict by the Peshawar High Court.

The bench warned that if the former president does not show up in court by 2:00 pm tomorrow, then a decision would be taken in his absence accordance to the law. The court further cautioned that the verification of his nomination papers for upcoming polls will also be halted as a repercussion of failing to appear before the court tomorrow.

Chief Justice remarked that if Musharraf is a commando then he must return instead of merely parroting like politicians that he is coming back. “SC is not bound to release a written guarantee to him according to the conditions set forth by him; we have already given assurance that he will not be arrested upon his return then what is he afraid of?” CJP crossly said.

No love lost between the CJP Pakjabi and the pseudo Pakjabi in the person of Mush

The apex court observed that Musharraf should come back and face the charges against him after that the court will review whether to put his name on the ECL.

The counsel of Pervez Musharraf informed the court that his client is ready to face treason case but he should be provided a guarantee of protection. He has Parkinson’s disease, so a medical board will need to be set up, Musharraf’s lawyer said, to which the chief justice stated that the court would form a medical board if Musharraf returns in an air ambulance.

It is Eid time. The CJP should ensure that the air ambulance transporting Mush is "air worthy". IMO what with dollars reserves and Paki Rupee falling, FATF black list with Pakistan on it , being announced soon, Chinese "taking over" Pakiland in name of CPEC , Pakistan is just not ready for yet another tragedy

In a new development, India asks Pakistan to vacate Kashmir June 12, 2018

NEW DELHI - Days after Pakistan passed the Amendment to “Azad Jammu and Kashmir Constitution Act 2018", India on Monday put forward a strong-worded statement protesting against it. Lodging a "strong protest", India asked its neighbour nation to vacate all areas it occupies in Kashmir .

"The government of India has conveyed a strong protest through diplomatic channel today against the `Azad Jammu and Kashmir Interim Constitution (13th Amendment) Act 2018`. It was clearly conveyed that the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir , which also includes the `Azad Jammu and Kashmir` is an integral part of India by virtue of its accession in 1947," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

"Any action to alter the status of any part of the territory under forcible and illegal occupation of Pakistan has no legal basis whatsoever, and is completely unacceptable. Instead of seeking to alter the status of the occupied territories, Pakistan should immediately vacate all areas under its illegal occupation," said the statement.

Through its order on Gilgit-Baltistan on May 21, former Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi seized more authority from the local council to deal with the affairs of the region. India has strongly protested against Islamabad's move relating to administrative authority over the Gilgit-Baltistan region. GB is disputed territory !

The Azad Kashmir has its own President and Prime Minister. in name onlee !

Noor is in Saudi Arabia with her daughter Fatima where she also met her ex-husband and PTI leader Aown Chaudhry. - So, will Noor be "breaking bread" in Saudia with the PTI family of Chaudhry, Immy and Peerni ?

Responding to a viral video showing Noor taking ride on electric car with PTI delegation, the former actress said that she is in Saudi Arabia from past one week.

Confirmed: Mobile Customers to Get 100 out of 100 on Mobile Loads From Today

Mobile phone companies have received the written order from Supreme Court of Pakistan for suspension of taxes on mobile cards as they are now preparing to make the necessary arrangements to offer Rs. 100 load on a Rs. 100 Card.

According to sources in industry, a written order from Supreme Court was received that confirms that mobile phone customers won’t be charged any taxes or service charges on mobile loads.This essentially means that customers will get Rs. 100 as a whole on a Rs. 100 card, starting midnight today (11:59PM – June 13th, 2018).

Celebration might be, IMO, a bit premature ! Keep your fingers crossed ( If Islam allows that !) After all, you are talking here of Pakistan, where things are "promised" but not delivered . ( Anyone remember "no - loadshedding promise" . "Liberation of Kashmir" promise ). This might be another way to gain "cheap publicity" for the publicity hungry CJP

According to Supreme Court order, customers will get this initial relief for 15 days only as FBR, mobile phone companies and other stake holders are going to determine on how to tax customers who come with-in the tax net.Another order — for suspension of taxes on telecom services — could be issued to extend the limit for another term of 15 days.

Till a solution is found out, Supreme Court suspended all sorts of taxes and directed FBR to come up with proposals and mechanics that will ensure that those (poor individuals) who don’t come under tax-net aren’t charged any taxes.It must be mentioned that all sort of telecoms services, i.e. voice calls, SMS, mobile internet and value added services will be exempted from taxes.

IMO, the so-called CJP should let go of the "easy stuff"- like this - and concentrate his attention on some "tough agenda items " like military corruption, harassment of Ganja Sharif, free and fair elections and the issue of disappearing persons ! He is earning salary of a manager and doing the work of a clerk

How Immy married PinkyI was wondering how did Imran met the pinky peerni and how did they end up getting married.

After their introduction to Imran Khan, the couple gradually started developing differences, which Khawar believes to have been Godsend.

Bushra one day told Khawar that she had had a dream in which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) appeared before her and told her to get married to Imran Khan, which would not only remove all the hurdles in Imran Khan’s way to become PM but will also eventually usher in a golden era for Pakistan.

Perhaps, that's how saif proposed kareena

The reports even claim that Imran Khan had divorced his ex-wife Reham Khan too over Bushra’s advice.

Pakistan to Face Trouble If It Becomes a Full Member of Energy Charter Treaty: Report

Pakistan has been looking to become a full member of Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) since 2006. The country thinks that the full membership with ECT will bring in more funding and investment in the energy sector.

However, international research groups think that this development could subject Pakistan to serious arbitration threats in case it signs an international ECT agreement.

Pakiland is "technically insolvent" . Although, nations cannot declare bankruptcy , Pakistan for all practical purposes is ! So, it is always looking for "ways and means" to get foreign funds. Someone, in their bureaucracy must have come up with THIS smart idea , until you read the small print !!!

The study was conducted by Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) and the Transnational Institute (TNI) – two European non-profit advocacy and research groups – who studied the impact of signing the treaty.

Scarce foreign exchange was probably spent to commission these expensive studies, or most likely, someone was brilliant enough to get the information "free on google". Local technical expertise on this narrow subject is almost non-existent. ! Remember, they had to import a Paki laayer from Bartania ( My Laard Khawar !) to fight their case in the ICJ. That cost them an "arm and a leg". He was "let go" as his fees were "too expensive"

Pakistan has restricted the rights of investors through a new Bilateral Investment Treaty. At the same time, the country is looking to sign an ECT agreement which could undermine the Bilateral Investment agreement.

Cannot have your cake and eat it too, under the Rule Of Law !

International oil and energy giants are using this treaty to sue governments for huge sums of cash. Any country that is looking towards a transition to clean energy but is a signatory to an ECT agreement becomes vulnerable to multiple billion-dollar lawsuits

The report adds that the companies under the agreement have already sued several countries for as much as $35 billion. The money used in the arbitration and settlement cases is normally paid through the taxpayers’ money. The study also shed some light on a coal mining project between Pakistan and China. Chinese investors along with locals are digging dirty lignite coal on Thar desert to fuel power plants.Hypothetically speaking, in case Pakistan halts that operation considering its environmental impact, and if Pakistan and China both become ECT members, then China can sue Pakistan on solid legal grounds, claiming billions for stopping the mining in the process.

Pakistan cannot join the Chini Camp and at the same time , join ECT , so as to "just get money" . Not permitted

The report further adds that the government officials signing these agreements don’t know the first thing about investor-state lawsuits and complexity of them.

Pakistan is under Sharia . Sharia "allows" so-called Islamic banking . Change a few words here and there . Put in some Arabic buzz words from the Quran and Hadith and lo and behold "forbidden interest" disappears into thin air . High time, the Mullahs should be commissioned to come up with the haram or halal of Energy Charter Treaty

Committee formed to look into faults in construction of new Islamabad airport

SLAMABAD – The Supreme Court has constituted a committee comprising officials of PIA and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to look into the faults in the construction of new Islamabad airport.Hearing a suo moto notice of flooding in Islamabad airport at the Supreme Court Lahore registry on Wednesday, a three-member bench of the Apex Court led by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar rejected initial report( This "guy" is "everywhere" fixing Paki punctures here and there !) about the faults in the construction of the new airport.The court ordered the committee to prepare and submit its report within two weeks.The bench ordered the concerned Committee to submit a short but comprehensive report in this regard within two weeks.

I was WRONG ! It is the 24/7 - and over worked , ( IMO) CJP who is now "in charge of this headache " ( he just "dealt" with Mush a few hours ago !) . But In my honest opinion ( IMHO) , I see that no justice will be done . Maybe, some small heads WILL roll , but will not make a dent on the Big Fish ( or fishes). They are "too important" to be touched . Some action will be taken, ( on paper onlee ) some stop -gap corrections will be made to the construction and the case will then be closed or die a natural death

LONDON : Jemima Goldsmith, ex-wife of PTI chief Imran Khan has extended wishes to Tyrian White, the alleged daughter of Khan, on his birthday calling her “step daughter” and “brilliant person”.

She posted a picture with her step daughter on Instagram stating, “I’m lucky enough to call my step daughter. The best company- as illustrated in this photo- I’m pretty much always happy when she’s around”. Jemima , IMO, is setting a "good example" for the Khan . It is high time that he does (make friends !) the same with Peerni's FIVE kids.

Jemima praised Tyrian calling her “one of the wisest, bravest, most authentic & impressive people i know”. Expressing her feelings for Khan’s alleged daughter, she added: “Miss you and love you a lot”.

Jemima's sense of timing is all wrong. Immy is in Makkah with the Peerni . On a PILGRIMAGE !!!

Tyrian White isbelieved to be theallegeddaughter of Imran Khan, after her mother Sita White, had once stated this. Imran Khan has always denied the allegations. It is pertinent to mention that Sita White died in the year 2004 after a heart attack.

People from Pakistan also commented on Jemima’s post wishing Tyrian on her birthday. A user, Hadya Ali wrote, “Happy birthday @tyrianwhite love from Pakistan”.

For whatever myriad reasons, ( beauty, Jewishness cum British- ness etc etc ) Jemima is "much admired" by the Aam Abduls of Pakiland. Many have "fallen in love" with her at first sight !

The people also criticised the PTI chief for not accepting her as a daughter on Jemima’s post on Instagram. But SHE is NOT a Muslim !!!

According to reports, a picture of the event posted on Jemima Khan’s Twitter account shows Imran Khan’s two sons Qasim Khan and Sulaiman Isa Khan with their alleged sister. Spade should be called a spade !

This year Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting also known as Ramzan, has coincided with the hottest temperatures witnessed in Pakistan for years. With daylight fasting hours averaging 15 hours 31 minutes, the longest in four decades, the ritual presents tough challenges, especially to laborers working outdoors.

While many brave the heat to fulfill their religious fasting requirements, for some it is near-impossible while working in simmering temperatures. “Yes, [fasting] is an Islamic obligation, but Allah doesn’t want to torture us,” said Mohammed Iqbal, a mason working at Karachi’s Tipu Sultan Road, while talking to Asia Times. “We can’t function while depriving ourselves of water for 16 hours. There are many who do fast in the heat, but many of us whose bodies simply don’t allow it.”

Even so, while city authorities across the country have been on high alert, Pakistan’s Ehtram-e-Ramzan [Respecting Ramadan] Ordinance has become a major stumbling block to ensuring sufficient hydration for workers.

“Unlike many other Muslim countries where restaurants remain open over Ramadan and pull down curtains or put screens so that (diners) aren’t visible to the passersby, Pakistani restaurants aren’t even undertaking delivery orders during fasting hours so that we don’t breach [the Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance],” one owner of a restaurant on Lahore’s MM Alam Road told Asia Times.

While citizens from the upper classes find ways to circumvent the ordinance, those most affected by the law are the poor and members of religious minorities.

People from non-Muslim communities have revealed that they are extra careful in the month of Ramadan to avoid doing anything that might be deemed offensive in Pakistan, a country where blasphemy remains a ‘crime’ punishable by death.

In 2016 an elderly Hindu man was badly beaten for eating publicly during Ramadan, with his blood-soaked images going viral on social media. “I see it as bullying. It is quite literally: ‘If we can’t eat, neither can you,’” said human rights activist and blogger Shamila Ghyas, to Asia Times.

Last month, the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Clare Nullis cited climate change when she revealed that the “hottest temperature ever recorded for April, was registered… in Pakistan.”

Federal Secretary for Climate Change Abu Ahmad Akif questions the ‘wisdom of the ordinance:’ “Public governance is extremely difficult in Pakistan. The moment you try to come close to the [Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance], violent protests erupt and the government will be in danger,” Akif said to Asia Times.He went on to say that common sense might dictate the rescinding of the law. However, he continued: “Even if you want to eliminate the law because of the heat wave, laws here are not made on common sense. We make laws based on emotions. I can’t go and say that [Ehtram-e-Ramzan Ordinance] must be abolished, or a fatwa [punishable edict] will be raised against me.”

PS: Unable to figure out this Paki Journo . Sometimes goes by the name of K.K. Shahid, sometimes by his full name ! Writes for local dailies and weeklies and also for foreign ( and Indian ) publications like N.Y. Times, The Hindu, Asia Times etc etc . "Bad Mouths" Pakiland very badly in foreign media and yet remains "untouched" by the Deep State .

APPROXIMATELY 2,000 years ago, China initiated opening of a pancontinental trade route connecting Asia, Europe and Africa which is today known by the name of Silk Road. The route provided people from different cultures, backgrounds, religions and races an opportunity to come together and inter-relate for a common purpose of pursuing prosperity.

History lesson for the uninformed Abduls

Fast forward to the 21st century, after experiencing an unprecedented GDP growth rate of over nine per cent over the last 40 years, Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013 proposed the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This was the emergence of combination of land and maritime routes connecting China to Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania. The focus of the initial phase was infrastructure, transportation and energy.

And Pakis "grabbed the once- in - lifetime" Chini offer , without doing " due diligence"

Since the announcement, over 100 countries, including Pakistan, India, Russia, Poland, Turkey and New Zealand, have been involved with the initiative. These economies represent over third of the world GDP.

The financial cooperation and assistance by China for the countries and organisations involved has been of various kinds. For instance, just the loans provided by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and investments made by the Silk Road Fund in various projects are massive. One of the famous Chinese quotes is, “The beginning is the most difficult part.” Well, today we can easily say that the beginning of making the BRI dream a reality has been nothing short of spectacular, remarkable and filled with encouragement for all those involved.

This Paki Banker is indeed enthused about the whole thing but what about Gawadar "converted" into a Chini Naval Base, dumping of second hand Chini maal into domestic markets, Paki Stock Exchange in Chini Hands, Chini prison labour doing CPEC Work etc etc

Pakistan, which adjoins China at its northeast border, is a central element of its neighbour’s plan to bring this 21st Century Silk Road of infrastructure, free trade, and financial integration to realisation, with CPEC being one of the BRI’s six main elements.

CPEC route "passing through" disputed territory in GB and POK

The first phase of the $62 billion CPEC investment saw infrastructure improvement in the country focussing on power and energy coupled with roads, railways and port development. The positive impacts on the economy can already be witnessed as Pakistan achieved a 5.3pc GDP growth rate in 2016-17 and is expected to achieve 5.8pc growth in 2017-18

Sialkoti statistics ?

Pakistan’s banking and financial sector needs to adjust to the new trade environment. Innovation empowers growth and the financial sector is poised to take on this new road of innovative and advanced financial journey.

With a long history of doing business in Pakistan and China spanning over 150 years, Standard Chartered looks forward to facilitating the country to realise the true potential of the CPEC opportunity. Being an international bank, 70pc of our footprint overlaps with BRI countries.

Self publicity for the Standard Chartered Bank !

In 2017 alone, the bank was involved with more than 50 deals worth more than $10 billion related to BRI. The early successes and wins for SCB Pakistan have also been extremely encouraging. Our in-depth knowledge of these countries and regions’ political, economic and cultural environment, coupled with our comprehensive products and services, make us a partner of choice for our clients.

Where is he getting his figures from ? Hopefully , not Sialkot in Pakjab

President Xi Jinping, during his keynote speech at Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing, quoted an ancient Chinese saying, “A long journey can be covered only by taking one step at a time”. It is vital that we are taking those steps to calibrate the changing winds into our business models to be able to capitalise fully the CPEC opportunity available to us.

Nothing about Pakistan losing its sover-virginity as many Pakis are speculating . Nothing about the increasing debt level and the fall of the Paki Rupee . And the concerns expressed by the local businessmen of Karachi, LaWhore and Pindi- Isoo region about their future . Maybe, Mr Dada has been "smoking' too much of this CPEC stuff !!!

ISLAMABAD: The request for a residential plot in F-14 or F-15 sectors for former Chief Justice (CJ) Iftikhar Chaudhry was deferred by the Federal Government Employees Housing Foundation (FGEHF) executive committee.During his service, the former CJ was offered a plot in I-8 but he refused and the FGEHF was finding options for a few years now because former CJ Chaudhry wanted to avail the offer.

He is now retarded retired . His daily, monthly, and yearly cash flow has drastically reduced . Therefore, he needs one more plot of land - to sell it off and make money. What can be more Paki than this !

Under the Prime Minister’s Assistance PAckage for BS-22, the former CJ was offered a category-I plot in 2008 but he refused the offer through a letter by the Supreme Court (SC) registrar, which read, “The honourable Chief Justice of Pakistan has declined for the time being to accept the offer made by [FGEHF] dated 10-8-2009 for allotment of plot number 45-D, (measuring 60’x90’) sector I-8/2 Islamabad in his favour as his lordship had never asked for it, therefore, the said offered may be withdrawn immediately under intimation to this office.” Expressing one-self in the third person. Something is "not right" with this cross-eyed laardship

“The executive committee discussed the case today but decided to defer the matter. F-14 was under consideration, but we think the sector is not developed yet and it is appropriate to defer the matter,” said FGEHF Director General (DG) Waqas Mahmood. The committee deliberated on the matter but then deferred it.

His "laardship" is being offered a plot in "section "I" . "Laardship" insists on a plat in "section "F" . Maybe, "Laardship" does not like the location of "I" Plat

Five Pakistani students graduate from South Asian University in New DelhiThe Express Tribune

LAHORE: Five Pakistani students have graduated from South Asian University (SAU) in New Delhi.They were awarded degrees during the third convocation of the varsity held on June 7. Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood also attended the ceremony.The students completed their Masters from SAU in diverse disciplines – including biotechnology, computer science, law and international relations.

Must have come under "previous regime ? And what did India get in return for this gesture?

Speaking to the Pakistani graduates separately, Mahmood extended warm felicitations to them and their families and wished them well in their professional pursuits in the future.

He also emphasised the pivotal role that the varsity could play in bringing the youth from South Asian nations together for grooming and higher learning.

The high commissioner hoped that more Pakistani students would be able to join SAU in the coming years — enriching its multi-national character and contributing to the success of the collaborative Saarc project.

So, the Pakis "used" the umbrella of SAARC for the "expertise" in these disciplines missing from their own country !

It is pertinent to mention here that the decision to establish the South Asian University was taken at the Saarc Summit in New Delhi in April 2007. The varsity started taking students from August 2010.

It seems like a "one sided arrangement" which is not benefiting India in any way ! Is this going to help Indo-Afghan transit trade - through Pakistan - by any chance

he Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday withdrew its directive allowing former dictator Pervez Musharraf to file nomination papers after he failed to appear for a court hearing today.Last week, the SC had issued a directive permitting Musharraf to file nomination papers for the July 25 general elections on the condition that he appear in person before the court on June 13 in Lahore to attend a hearing.The court had said that the former army chief's nomination papers will be received by the returning officer, but would only be considered if Musharraf appeared in person at the SC Lahore registry.

Musharraf's lawyer Qamar Afzal today pleaded that the former president plans on returning but needs more time to appear before the court owing to the "current situation [in the country]" and Eidul Fitr holidays.

Adjourning the case for an unspecified period of time, the court took back its directive allowing Musharraf to file nomination papers and asked his lawyer to let the court know when he wants the case to be heard next.

Back to square one ! Mush boxed in Dubai. No Paki ID. No passport. Eid to be "celebrated" in the deserts of Dubai !!

"The Supreme Court is not bound to Musharraf's terms," the CJP had remarked in yesterday's hearing, after the former president's counsel had insisted on blanket guarantees for his security. "We've already said that if Musharraf returns, he will be provided with security. We are not bound to also provide a written guarantee in this regard." "If he doesn't return, the scrutiny of his nomination papers will not be permitted," Justice Nisar had warned.Musharraf has not returned to Pakistan since leaving for Dubai in March 2016 on the pretext of medical treatment.

Mush, the "well trained and experienced commando" does not "smell something right" . And I do not blame him for " NOT accepting this generous favour" by the CJP

NEW YORK – Pakistan has been elected to the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) for a three-year term starting 1st January 2019 during the election held at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.

According to Foreign Office Spokesperson, Pakistan has secured 175 votes out of a total of 186 votes cast ... wonder who are the 11 members casting "negative" vote for Pakiland

ECOSOC is one of the principal organs of the United Nations mandated with the important tasks of coordination, policy review and formulating recommendations on economic, social and environmental issues, as well as for the implementation of all important Sustainable Development Goals.

QUETTA :Unidentified militants have blasted a medical dispensary and school in Dera Bugti, local media reported on Thursday morning.

Levies sources said that this was an attempt to disrupt peace in the area. They said that the militants planted explosive material in the health facility and school, and blew up both buildings

Fortunately, no casualty happened in the incident. After cordoning off the area, the security forces have launched a search operation to trace the suspects.

Maybe, next time, they will be more successful in taking down the Pakjabi setlers who are occupying their ancestral lands !!
